Description
Located just southwest of Earlham in Madison County, Iowa, this +/- 75-acre recreational farm offers a rare combination of hunting, income, and building potential, all within about 25 minutes of West Des Moines. The property sits on the west side of Fawn Avenue in Section 14 of Penn Township and is located within the Earlham Community School District. Jim Creek flows through the property and provides a year-round water source for wildlife. Timber along the creek and draws offers cover and travel corridors, while multiple secluded fields give a hunter options for food plots, stand locations, and quiet access. Farms with this mix of water, timber, and open ground are hard to find this close to the Des Moines metro, and this one is set up to hunt well for years to come. The farm also offers income potential. According to FSA records, there are approximately 34.73 FSA cropland acres, with about 12.07 acres in row crop carrying a CSR2 rating of 62.3 and roughly 20 acres in hay production. These fields can be cash rented to help offset the cost of ownership, planted to food plots, or a combination of both, giving a new owner flexibility in how the ground is used. The open fields also allow food plots and hay ground to be rotated from year to year as hunting and income goals change. For a buyer looking to build, the property offers multiple building sites on either side of Jim Creek with views over the timber and fields. Rural water is available along 120th Street, and electric service is provided by MidAmerican Energy. Whether the plan is a home, a cabin, or a shop for weekend use, there are several good options to choose from. The location is hard to beat for a recreational property. The farm is about 3 miles from Earlham with easy access to Interstate 80, roughly 25 minutes to West Des Moines and about 35 minutes to downtown Des Moines. Dexter, De Soto, and Winterset are all a short drive away, and Badger Creek State Recreation Area, with a 276-acre lake and more than 700 acres of public hunting ground, is about 10 miles to the east. The adjoining +/- 24.44-acre property directly east across Fawn Avenue, featuring a fully renovated farmhouse, is also available. A buyer has the option to purchase both properties together for a combined +/- 99.44 acres with a home, tillable ground, timber, and Jim Creek. This is an opportunity to own a diverse recreational farm with income and building potential close to the metro. Contact Land Specialist Dylan Hand to schedule a private showing.
